Quantifying the vibration of industrial machinery and using that information for condition monitoring (CM) has long been an ambitious goal, but also one with significant technical and implementation ...

Researchers at the National Institute of Technology (NIST) have developed a new type of accelerometer based on lasers and optomechanical principles rather than the traditional mechanical strain gauges ...

Knowing the characteristics of MEMS devices lets different labs compare them accurately. Accelerometers—devices that measure change in velocity—are built into automobiles, airplanes, cell phones, ...
